[recipe] Beans and Greens

[Guest guest]

Here is a salad I enjoy making in the winter

to remind me of the summer. Now this time

of year, do use the the fresh green beans instead

of canned. Enjoy the bounty of the season!

 

Beans and Greens

 

1/2 cup olive oil

1/8 cup vinegar

1 tsp salt

1 tsp sugar

1/4 tsp celery seed

1/4 tsp paprika

1 can (14.5 oz) cut green beans

4 cups torn lettuce

2 cups torn fresh spinach

1 cup shredded Swiss cheese

 

In a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine the first six ingredients;

shake well. Pour over green beans; let stand for 15 minutes.

Just before serving, drain beans, reserving marinade. In a salad

bowl, combine the beans, lettuce, spinach and Swiss cheese.

Drizzle with reserved marinade; toss to coat.

Yield: 7 to 8 servings

Dark is the night, far is the dawning.

Sing for the shining of light on the way!

Hearken, be ready, attend to my calling,

Sing all you guardians who wait at the door.
